"I was so grateful to hosts Christel and Phillip when I arrived as my dog and I had been travelling in the car for 13 hrs and they welcomed us with warm smiles, cold drinks and even offered to cook me a meal! Just an amazing experience that went well beyond what you'd expect from the owners.
Our room was really comfortable, private and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed was wonderful as was the bathtub!
My dog had a great time exploring this beautiful property and particularly loved her swims in the river which runs through it.
We will definitely be back and will highly recommend to others."

"This was a very relaxing weekend away for us. We loved the peace and tranquility and the kids absolutely loved all the animals and the pool table too. Christel was thee perfect host and made us feel very welcome - a home from home."

"Christel and Phillip were very welcoming and helpful and happy to spend a lot of time showing us around. Ben, their dog and Chino the cat were also wonderful hosts for my dog,Gypsy, who almost never makes friends with other dogs but actually wanted to play with Ben.And Chino is such a lovely welcoming cat! I've never seen a cat like her. We loved the river and the beautiful view from the house and enjoyed the very comfortable accommodation.Strongly recommended!"

"We had a great stay just chilling & exploring the area with our 2 dogs. After some hectic weeks it was a terrific time out for us. Great to see all the animals & the instant dogfriend ben playing with our 2 in the river."

 - Mark - March 11

"Christel and Philip were very welcoming hosts and have a beautiful place with wonderful views where you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the environment. Christel brought us a lovely cup of tea when we arrived and chatted and walked around with us as our dog got used to the animals including the donkey and horses. We felt very comfortable to just stay and enjoy the property or come and go as we pleased. My son especially loved Sophie the donkey and our dog loved Ben. This is the best pet friendly place we have found and it is so nice to be able to have our dog inside with us. I would recommend this place to everyone but especially if you are travelling with a dog. The accommodation is excellent and if you are an art lover or artist - you will love Christel's interest and collection of art and paintings."

"Lovely setting and accomodating hosts, a place to do little or lots. Being able to take our little dog was our main reason for selecting Liptelvin however I'm sure non pet owners would also enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Fantastic also for city kids to get up close to the animals! "

"We love the Guest Manager - Christel and Phillip, they both are wonderful ! We miss them very much and we miss Ben too ! Ben is a very good tour guide while we were there...

"The best was the warm & friendly welcome. The host spend time chatting to us and making us very comfortable. We loved the animals around. Ben was the high light. I will recomend this place to anyone who loves a to have a complete break. It was so unique."

 - Nelum - July 10

"Krystel and Philip are such a great host during our stay at Liptelvin. We stayed in their caravan which was a wonderful experience with everything you need from a electric blanket to gas stoves with all cookery stocked.

Definately a pet friendly accomodation with horses, donkey, cat and dogs in their property. We were invited by the hosts to a fantastic dinner at Magnolia and watched together a local play. What a weekend to enjoy!

The hospitality you get at Liptelvin will definately not disappoint you! Will definately go back again. Highly recommended"

 - Nigel - May 10

"From the moment we arrived with our dog Rosie, Christel and Phillip couldn't do enough for us. Christel made us a freshly brewed coffee, which went down very nicely with the homemade biscuits she offered as well! We chose to stay in the caravan, which was extremely comfortable and fitted out with all the mod cons. We decided to go out for dinner on the Saturday night and Christel and Phillip very kindly offered to dogsit for us. Rosie was incredibly well looked after and spent the evening sitting on Phillip's lap! We couldn't have been more impressed with the accommodation on offer, the views and the wonderful hospitality from two lovely owners. Very very highly recommended!"

 - Larissa, VIC - March 10

"We had a lovely stay at Liptelvin, very relaxing in great surroundings and very caring hosts. It was a truly pet friendly place and our two dogs had a fantastic time as well.

"what a beautiful spot!!! Christen and Phil are the nicest people, not to forget their lovely cat and dog, Chino and Ben!! they live in a lovely house in the middle of the hills, the room was nice and comfortable and the bathroom was pretty and spacious. I highly recommend it!!"

 - Fanny , VIC - August 09

"We found our stay at Liptelvin to be a tranquil place to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings of the mountains. The hospitality was astounding with Christel and Phillip going out of their way to make our weekend special in many ways; the vanilla slice was the best! The caravan was clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything you would need; the breakfast hamper is a must with that special touch of home-grown herbs.
Our dog had the best time running free in the paddocks and swimming in the river, plus palying with Ben and getting to know the horses. We especially liked how our hosts cared for our dog while we were seeing the snow sights.
We'll be back in the summer time to enjoy the river and hospitality from our hosts again. We recommend Liptelvin to anyone wanting a beautiful place to unwind and enjoy themselves in a great location with friendly and helpful hosts

"We had a wonderful stay at the Liptelvin Hillside Retreat. The apartment was comfortable, clean and inviting. Everything about Liptelvin just made us feel at home.

Our hosts, Christel and Phillip were simply superb. Not only did they go out of their way to make us feel welcome, their pets did so as well. Warm and friendly in every way.

We will most certainly be back. Our only regret this time around was that we had to cut our stay short of a day. But we promise to make it up the next time we're there."

 - Ian, VICTORIA - December 08

"Our stay was magnificent, the accommodation was clean, neat, and had excellent facilities. The little things were certainly noticed and appreciated for example: welcome coffee, fresh herbs for our use, fresh flowers in the kitchen, the good size pool table and lots of towels and linen. Lovely people to deal with and most helpful and very generous. Thank you so much for the herb plants and other plants give for us to take home. Beautiful location, especially we enjoy swim in the Delatite River that adjoining to the property. We would highly recommend for any one staying at LIPTELVIN HILLSIDE RETREAT.
